i dont blast music loud. but would be good to have some headroom for occasional blasts.

enclosures i am trying to keep under 3L

i am a little worried about power handling of mark audio. 3" driver is rated for 5 good watts i assume,
alpair 7ms is rated at 15watts

dayton rs100-4 50watts.

dayton reviews i've seen are mostly by gamers talking in college dorm on how loud these speakers can blast
some people complained that tremble tonality is a little off and they would use a tweeter with rs100-4

could not find anything bad about mark audio drivers.

can anyone comment on sound quality of these.
i am leaning towards mark audio alpair 5.3. dave (planet10) recommended them in another thread and they seem like best thing in under 3 liter volume. my only concern is power handling.

whats the smallest volume that can be used with alpair 7ms

I haven’t heard the Dayton. The MA 5.3 is very good, A5.3eN even better, MAOP 5 should be a killer. A7ms is a 4” driver, a lot more engineering to allow for a mono Suspension than in the 5.2/3, goes lower, plays louder, but has very simialr voicing.

A5.3 fits 2.5 litre reflex, A7ms needs 9, A5 in FH-Lite or Giraffe, A7ms in FH3 or Pensil to maximize bass.
